XEKOV
Two-model evidence check

Will this remote work with this opener?

Enter the exact opener model and the exact remote or keypad model. XEKOV checks the pair in two independent directions: the opener’s verified radio family and the accessory manufacturer’s published opener-brand scope. If a separate receiver is installed, the checker stops rather than pretending the motor unit still controls radio compatibility.

Use the complete model from the opener label.

Use the model printed on the remote, keypad or its label.

Enter both exact model numbers. XEKOV will return a documented compatibility path, a documented mismatch, or an unknown result—never a guess.

What the checker actually verifies

A shared frequency or a similar-looking remote is not enough. The result has to survive each evidence gate below.

1 · Exact opener identityThe opener model must exist in XEKOV’s first-party-source-backed database.
2 · Opener brand scopeThe accessory manufacturer must list the opener brand it claims to support.
3 · Radio familyThe accessory’s published protocol list must include the opener’s verified technology.
4 · Receiver overrideIf an add-on receiver controls the handheld radio path, identify that receiver instead of relying on the opener’s built-in radio.
Documented path

Both checks pass

XEKOV shows the opener and accessory records, the matching brand scope and the matching radio family. This is the strongest pair result the current dataset can produce without inventing model-to-model claims.

Mismatch

A required check fails

The checker tells you whether the failure is opener-brand scope, radio family or both. A protocol match does not override a missing manufacturer brand claim.

Unknown

A model is not indexed

Unknown means the current reviewed evidence cannot establish the pair. It does not mean “probably compatible,” and it does not silently substitute a nearby model number.

Cases where you should not trust a simple model pair

  • External receiver: a wired add-on receiver can replace the opener’s original handheld-radio path.
  • Replaced control board: the installed board can differ from the opener’s factory radio generation.
  • Craftsman exceptions: some otherwise broad accessory claims contain model-series exclusions.
  • Regional variants: model names, radio versions and safety requirements can differ outside North America.
  • Universal does not mean universal: the exact accessory still needs the manufacturer-listed brand and radio family.

Why this is better than matching frequency alone

Two products can mention the same MHz value and still use different coding or manufacturer-specific pairing rules. XEKOV keeps exact opener identity, opener-brand scope and radio technology as separate checks. Every result links back to the underlying opener and accessory records so you can inspect the first-party sources yourself.
